I never got an answer to this, but did not despair as 5.3-RELEASE was
due out soon, and I figured maybe things would get better then.

This short message is just to confirm that it did, just in case
someone finds my original message in the archives.  After I built a
kernel with "device atapicam" and installed sysutils/dvd+rw-tools from
ports, growisofs works like a charm on this drive.  Whether this is
due to improvements in the kernel or maybe the ports tree builds a
newer growisofs, I don't know (and don't much care at this stage).
